Toyota shows off hybrid Yaris concept

Next week, Toyota will pull the cover off its Yaris Hybrid-R concept car.

Toyota unveiled a few glamour shots of the hybrid car ahead of its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10. Toyota said the new concept car is inspired by its hybrid race car and that shows the future of hybrid technology.

The car is powered by a 1.6-liter gasoline engine that is paired with two powerful electric motors, Toyota said in a release. Unlike the iconic Prius, this Yaris hybrid has plenty of power under the hood. The car’s motors can combine to pump out more than 400 horsepower for five seconds or 340 horsepower for 10 seconds.

The car can also alter the distribution of torque between the left and right tires to improve handling.

Toyota did not release how many miles the car could get on a single tank.
